Remove support for row names

[krlmlr]

Complicates the code. Should first warn when accessing (r/w) row names of a data frame, and then (in a following version) discard them when coercing.

Thanks. An argument to as_tibble() (and to as.data.frame.tibble()) seems like a simple solution.

The only new behaviour in this version is that as_tibble() now strips rownames (as it probably always should have). You can get the previous behaviour by setting rownames = NA (or pkgconfig::set_config("tibble::rownames", NA) to affect all code in a package), and there's a convenient way to turn rownames into a variable: rownames = "new_variable_name". This seems like a small change and unlikely to cause problems.
